Good sense and good-nature are never separated, though the ignorant world has thought otherwise. Good-nature, by which I mean beneficence and candor, is the product of right reason.
Dead men tell no tales.
As poetry is the harmony of words, so music is that of notes.
Long pains, with use of bearing, are half eased.
Could swell the soul to rage, or kindle soft desire.
Virtue without success is a fair picture shown by an ill light; but lucky men are favorites of heaven; all own the chief, when fortune owns the cause.
